1 Chronicles 21:7-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
7
Now God was displeased with this thing, so He struck Israel.
8
David said to God, 'I have sinned greatly, by doing this thing. But now, please overlook Your servant’s guilt, for I have behaved very foolishly.'
9
The
Lord
spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,
10
Go and speak to David, saying, ‘This is what the
Lord
says: 'I extend to you three
choices;
choose for yourself one of them, which I will do to you.'?’?'
11
So Gad came to David and said to him, 'This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Take for yourself
12
three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes
you,
or else three days of the sword of the
Lord
: a plague in the land, and the angel of the
Lord
destroying throughout the territory of Israel.’ Now, therefore, consider what answer I shall bring back to Him who sent me.'
13
David said to Gad, 'I am in great distress; please let me fall into the hand of the
Lord
, for His mercies are very great. But do not let me fall into human hands.'
14
So the
Lord
sent a plague on Israel; seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
King James Version
Chapter 21
7
And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
8
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9
And the
Lord
spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
10
Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the
Lord
, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
11
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the
Lord
, Choose thee
12
Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the
Lord
, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the
Lord
destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
13
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the
Lord
; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
14
So the
Lord
sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

Chapter 21
7
This command was also evil in God’s sight, so he afflicted Israel.
8
David said to God, "I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now, please take away your servant’s guilt, for I’ve been very foolish."
9
Then the
Lord
instructed Gad, David’s seer,
10
"Go and say to David, ‘This is what the
Lord
says: I am offering you three choices. Choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.’"
11
So Gad went to David and said to him, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Take your choice:
12
three years of famine, or three months of devastation by your foes with the sword of your enemy overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the
Lord
—a plague on the land, the angel of the
Lord
bringing destruction to the whole territory of Israel.’ Now decide what answer I should take back to the one who sent me."
13
David answered Gad, "I’m in anguish. Please, let me fall into the
Lord
’s hands because his mercies are very great, but don’t let me fall into human hands."
14
So the
Lord
sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand Israelite men died.
New Living Translation
Chapter 21
7
God was very displeased with the census, and he punished Israel for it.
8
Then David said to God, 'I have sinned greatly by taking this census. Please forgive my guilt for doing this foolish thing.'
9
Then the
Lord
spoke to Gad, David’s seer. This was the message:
10
Go and say to David, ‘This is what the
Lord
says: I will give you three choices. Choose one of these punishments, and I will inflict it on you.’'
11
So Gad came to David and said, 'These are the choices the
Lord
has given you.
12
You may choose three years of famine, three months of destruction by the sword of your enemies, or three days of severe plague as the angel of the
Lord
brings devastation throughout the land of Israel. Decide what answer I should give the
Lord
who sent me.'
13
I’m in a desperate situation!' David replied to Gad. 'But let me fall into the hands of the
Lord
, for his mercy is very great. Do not let me fall into human hands.'
14
So the
Lord
sent a plague upon Israel, and 70,000 people died as a result.

9
And the
Lord
spoke to Gad, David 's seer, saying,
10
"Go and say to David, ‘Thus says the
Lord

11
So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the

, ‘Choose what you will:
12
either three years of famine, or three months of devastation by your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the
Lord

Lord
destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me."
13
Then David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let me fall into the hand of the
Lord
, for his mercy is very great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
14
So the
Lord
sent a pestilence on Israel, and 70,000 men of Israel fell.

7
This command was also evil in the sight of God; so he punished Israel.
8
Then David said to God, "I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing."
9
The
Lord
said to Gad, David’s seer,
10
"Go and tell David, ‘This is what the
Lord
says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’ "
11
So Gad went to David and said to him, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Take your choice:
12
three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the
Lord
—days of plague in the land, with the angel of the
Lord
ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me."
13
David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the
Lord
, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into human hands."
14
So the
Lord
sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead.
